The iPad is not a large iPhone. The iPhone is a small iPad.

I am very excited for the next iPhone…

I think it will have some great features, learning from the iPad; a 1GHz processor, an all-aluminum back (like the first iPhone), and a gorgeous screen. Not to mention it'll come with iPhone firmware 4.0! 

Read this article first.

All the past iPhone upgrades have been small. Collectively, all they added was 3G, GPS, a faster processor, and a video camera. Not much to brag about. The Nexus One and Android are a serious threat to the iPhone. While not as elegant and nice, they have many features that some nerds lust about–regardless of the ugly UI. The iPhone needs to stay on top. The first iPhone destroyed competition. The 3G and the 3GS…well…not so much. As Steve himself said, the next iPhone will be an A+ upgrade.

I think with the addition of a powerful processor, the next iPhone will allow multiple apps to be open simultaneously, as well as a 5 megapixel camera, and an incredibly long-lasting battery.

iPad: What You Need To Know

So, there has been a lot of buzz around the iPad. Both good and bad, mostly bad. I'm here to bring you a video on a more neutral side. This video here just explains the specifications of the iPad. It was mostly a spur of the moment video, so I apologize if it is a little unorganized. I will be making a video on my thoughts of the iPad too. So, here you go everyone, info and specs of the iPad. Make sure to check out the post on my TechnoBuffalo sub blog that goes along with this video.

iPhone 4.0 to bring new features to the iPad before the iPad comes out?

Now, we all thought that the iPad was going to come with iPhone 4.0 as well as a new iPhone. Unfortunately...it did not. But, Apple has introduced new iPhone OS versions around March historically. So, it's safe to say, March will yield the iPhone 4.0 software. But the iPad is also coming out in March. And I don't believe this to be coincidence. I think the iPad and iPhone will gain a bunch more features in the next few months; very soon. The iPad will almost definitely get multitasking, and I think the iPhone will as well, but only the next model, which will most likely have the same processor as the iPad. And, being a developer, I can give you a tour of it. I get all beta OS's early.

Chill. The iPad is here, man...

It appears everyone hates the iPod, and that, basically, it's a big iPod touch. Well, they're right. It is a big iPod touch. The same people also say it won't be successful. Well, they're wrong. Because while it is a big iPod Touch, it's not just that.

The iPad has a few killer features.

1. A 1GHz processor. That may not be too astounding, considering the Nexus One has the same clock speed. However, this chip was custom designed by Apple to integrate incredibly well with the software, and other hardware components. This also allows a multitouch UI that has many more little tricks than the iPhone's UI.

2. An LED screen. Very high contrast ratio and refresh rate...an awesome movie-watching experience. Not only that, but the high contrast ratio puts little strain on your eyes while reading, almost as little as a Kindle.

3. Very sensitive multitouch. Bob Mansfield said it himself; over 1,000 multitouch sensors. This means that, coupled with the big screen and fast processor, the iPad is a screaming fast device.

4. Apps made just for the iPad. The iPad scales up iPhone apps to full screen, but apps designed specifically for the iPad will be able to do magnificent things, and have more computing power for awesome graphics. OnLiveshould look gorgeous on it, as they are building an iPhone app, and most likely, an iPad app.

5. It will always be updated. Not really a feature, but if you don't like the iPad, know Apple will always have to add features in the future.

6. Feels great in your hand. Need I say more?

7. Books. Again, needs no explaining.

So, while I think the iPad will be not incredibly successful, Apple will sell many. This device has true potential, and Apple has taken the first big step towards something even better. And yes, I will be buying one, and I will have an unboxing video up on my YouTube channel, along with tons of other great Apple/Tech content.

Is The iPad That Bad?! 

Alright so the iPad was released only a few days ago, and already we are tearing it apart! We do not even have this product in our hands and already it sucks, and the people who did try it said it felt awesome! This is like how 75% of the internet is, some product is released and we judge it just by the outside. Who was it that said you cant judge a book by it's cover? We never look at what this thing really can do! So I just wanted to post this video just not sharing my thoughts on the iPad, but on really what we should be looking at here. Enjoy!

I just want to say Thank You to David D. for inspiring me to make this video! Thank You for watching, feed back is alway welcome!

Keep On Geeking! -Nolan
